BBC reported that appearing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11, Lil X, the 4-year-old son of billionaire Elon Musk, attracted the attention of the media, becoming the center of attention more than his father and President Donald Trump during the press conference on the executive order to streamline the US government.

“This is X, a very wonderful and extremely intelligent boy” – Mr. Trump opened his speech with a smile, calling the 4-year-old boy “a person with a high IQ”.
While defending his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, billionaire Elon Musk was also distracted by Lil X several times, especially the moment when he held his son on his shoulder and the boy played with his father’s ears.
“Sorry for the interruption,” Elon Musk said, laughing. “I would have enjoyed the teasing, but he just kept poking my ear.”
The White House later shared a video of the Oval Office press conference, in which Lil X stood out in a brown suit, standing next to his father and President Donald Trump.

The boy also made faces, imitating his father’s gestures when Mr. Musk spoke. At one point, X even sat leaning against the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
Lil X’s real name is X Æ A-Xii, the youngest son of Elon Musk’s 12 children.
